Just when you thought you had seen it all with regard to video game-themed items, along comes the Space Invaders wall vent. That's right, the aliens from the iconic arcade classic have been turned into a vent cover. This one-of-a-kind design was created by Etsy merchant Little Big Laser. The vent is made of plywood and was laser-cut.
The aliens from Space Invaders have appeared on many, many things. Bottle openers, ties and rings are just a few of the items that have been graced by the presence of the arcade aliens. The Space Invaders wall vent is the first of its kind; it may actually be the first video game-inspired vent ever. While the vent cover isn't overly functional it is a nice way to subtly geek up a room. It sells for $22 and is available now.
